4-6 reps of max weight
6-8 reps of max weight
8-10 reps of max weight
10-12 reps of max weight

"max weight" being whatever I can lift for that many reps. I toss this set up in every once in a while, and you get a pretty serious burn. It's a good change up, and I've seen some pretty good gains on strength.
I do similiar things. For instance this morning I did 4 sets of T-bar rows.
12 reps to failure
6 reps to failure
6 reps to failure
8 reps to failure
